Huang Yuanwu led an army of 150,000 slowly walked on the desolate Gobi Desert, and then moved forward for about a day before entering the scope of the imperial capital.

The desolate Gobi is deserted. Looking around, you can only see mottled gravel and rugged hills. From time to time, some strong and stubborn plants are dotted in it. In this dark yellow world, it looks a bit eye-catching.

This desert Gobi was originally the border of the Qitian Empire, but now the residence of the Dongwang Mansion did not belong to Qitian before.

It was the young Eastern King. After establishing a large territory for the empire, he invited himself to enter the vast Gobi Desert. Finally, he discovered a large piece of land behind the Gobi Desert, and established the East Prince Mansion here to unify the indigenous people and recuperate. After decades, the prosperity of the East Prince Mansion is now.

For Qi Tian, ​​the existence of the Eastern Prince's Mansion is just a relatively powerful border guarding royal palace.

The Eastern King asked to enter the barbaric land, and his own reason was that it was not important to escape the struggles in the court or to stay away from the vortex of power. What was important was that the Eastern King established the Eastern King's Mansion, and the current Eastern King's Mansion has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Qitian Empire.

Huang Yuanwu was in a heavy mood. The closer he got to the direction of the imperial capital, the more he thought and became more solemn.

The scouts in front received no defenses found at the border of the imperial capital. In other words, no one was deliberately guarding against the Eastern Prince's Mansion, which made Huang Yuanwu's mood even heavier.

If the masters of the imperial capital are not absolutely sure of dealing with the Eastern Palace, this is absolutely impossible. At this critical moment of power change, the Eastern Palace's position is extremely important. If they want to take the initiative, they must first gain the trust of the Eastern Palace. Or, exclude the Eastern Palace.

But surprisingly, so long has passed, neither the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu nor Yang Qin, who now occupy the imperial capital, have sent an envoy to visit, as if in their eyes, the Eastern Prince's Mansion no longer exists.

Although Huang Yuanwu told Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo that he would not have the chance to kill Yang Qin when he went to the emperor. It was just that at this critical point, the Eastern Prince's Mansion must appear to prove that they did not have the will to rebel against the empire and would not give any handle to those in power in the future. But this was just a superficial statement. Whether it was Yu Sheng or Xiao Yibo, or Huang Yuanwu himself, he did not believe what he said.

Things will not go in this direction. In the cruel struggle for power, either you die or I die. Regardless of whether Huang Yuanwu is willing or not, the Eastern Prince's Mansion will definitely be involved in this dispute. In fact, he had already known this in his heart, otherwise he would not have ordered the construction of the city wall, nor would he have ordered the opening of the southern territory.

It is possible that what is placed in front of Emperor Yuanwu is a fierce battle. It is also possible that it is a battle without gunpowder and bloodless killing. However, no matter what, this matter must be understood. He will not appear now. Once the imperial capital has subsided and the future emperor throne is firmly settled, then he will point his finger at the Eastern Palace. At that time, the Eastern Palace may face the entire Qitian Empire, with a population of millions and a million heroes. This is what he absolutely does not want to see.

As night was approaching, Huang Yuanwu ordered the entire army to stop advancing and camp on the spot for repair.

The army immediately began to move, and soon set up the marching tent with them and set up the camp. The 150,000 troops were divided into three camps, echoing from beginning to end in case of emergency needs.

When the night was hazy, Huang Yuanwu sat in his big tent, frowned slightly, thinking about what was going to happen in the future, and was stunned.

He once again inevitably thought of the storm that happened in the royal palace before, Ye Guan's indifference to him and Ning Yi's hatred look at him. Until now, Huang Yuanwu didn't know what was the reason.

It was clearly less than a month since Ye Guan went to Tianqing City, but when he came back, he had already become like this. He showed indifferent concern for the life and death of the Eastern Palace, and even had a hint of feeling that he wanted the Eastern Palace to disappear. Looking at Ning Yi, this child raised by his father himself, his relatives actually looked at him with such hatred eyes.

These two men were merciless to Huang Yuchen and said they wanted to take Huang Yuchen away, but in fact they killed him everywhere and wanted to kill him.

Huang Yuanwu was puzzled by this. The origin of these things must have something to do with Huang Yuchen, but his youngest brother has always lived in the royal palace. His first official departure was still with him. Later, he went to the enclave and was taken care of by Yu Sheng Ye Guan and others, and no abnormality happened. Why do so many people insist on staring at Huang Yuchen?

Huang Yuanwu frowned. The only thing he could think of was the relationship between Huang Yuchen and the Hunyuan Formation. However, although Huang Yuanwu knew its existence, he did not know much about the Hunyuan Formation. Moreover, as far as he knew, this formation had never been opened since it appeared, but was behind, not at any time or for some reason, and appeared on Yuchen.

Huang Yuanwu pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a headache. A fog was right in front of him. He seemed to know many clues, but he could not intersperse them together.

Since the last storm ended, he has never seen a few secret guards in the palace again. He seems to have no idea what happened in the storm in the end.

There are only four people who witnessed the whole process of this process, one is Huang Yuchen who is unconscious, and the other two are Qi Zhengye and Liu Xingping brothers. Huang Yuanwu had communicated with them, but the two could not remember some details at that time. They only remembered the two mysterious men with long robe magic shockingly, and the methods used by the three more mysterious people who appeared later were simply unimaginable.

Thinking about these things now, it was like having a very long dream. Huang Yuanwu wanted to recall what happened to Huang Yuchen more than once, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember it. The only thing he remembered was that he saw nine secret guards appear at the same time, behind them, two mysterious people falling from the sky, one old man and the other middle-aged man holding a fan.

This memory of why Huang Yuchen was in a coma seemed to disappear out of thin air and could not be recalled at all.

If Huang Yuchen had not been in a coma and sleeping afterwards, Huang Yuanwu would have even thought that these were all dreams. What appeared in front of him at that time might not even have dreamed.

What he could remember clearly now was Ye Guan and Ning Yi, who finally stepped into the door opened by the mysterious old man and disappeared from then on.

This storm seems to have passed, everything has returned to the past, but Huang Yuanwu vaguely felt that this matter was definitely not that simple. Huang Yuanwu still knew a little about the secrets of the royal palace. After his father entered a mysterious cave, he brought back a pair of armor. Then Yuchen was born and a strange phenomenon came from the sky. Later, his father hid Yuchen's snow, and time passed by sixteen years.

At that time, he didn't quite understand the intention of his father, and now Huang Yuanwu understood a little. His father must have known something, but he couldn't tell anyone that everything was hidden by him, including the secrets on Yuchen and even the Hunyuan Formation. His father might have known a lot.

This time, when I went to the imperial capital and dealt with the matters of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, it was crucial that Huang Yuanwu wanted to do one thing very much, that is, to take this opportunity to go to the cave where my father had visited before and explore this secret.

The only clues that Huang Yuanwu knew were the ones. The memory of the incident back then was very vague, and only Ye Guan followed his father. According to Ye Guan, the cave was very dangerous, but why did the father, who was not as good as Ye Guan, safely get the treasure and return without any harm, but Ye Guan was seriously injured and dying as soon as he entered the cave. This is very doubtful.

Moreover, the forces staring at Huang Yuchen were far more than one Tianqing City. In the entire Qitian realm, countless mysterious forces and sects, most of them knew about the strange phenomena that came from heaven from the East Prince's Mansion. This kind of rare things in a century would definitely attract great attention between them, especially among practitioners. Even if the father hid this matter for sixteen years, when the father died in battle, all forces who were spying on this matter would extend their hands to the East Prince's Mansion.

Before, Huang Yuanwu always felt that it was not difficult to take charge of the entire Dongwang Mansion. All officials were trained by their fathers, and they had close ties with the Dongwang Mansion. In the army of the Dongwang Mansion, most generals had been on the battlefield with Huang Yuanwu. Huang Yuanwu had a very high reputation in the royal mansion army and enjoyed a high reputation among the people. The Dongwang Mansion has always been very peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were no bandits around. There were no natural disasters for many years. In charge of the Dongwang Mansion, you only need to control these things and you can rest assured.

But now Huang Yuanwu realized that things were far from as simple as he thought. After he actually took over the Eastern Palace, he realized that those threats on the surface were not threats, and they had ways to deal with them. Even if there was a problem with the empire, Huang Yuanwu had a way out and could protect the entire palace. But those forces that secretly spyed really gave him a headache. He didn't know how his father handled such a thing at the time, but seeing his calm and peaceful appearance, he could not see any clues at all.

And when the burden of the Eastern Prince's Mansion was placed on Huang Yuanwu's shoulders all of a sudden, there were a few times when he really felt that he was about to be crushed.

Faced with the mysterious and mysterious force like Tianqing City, Huang Yuanwu was almost helpless, let alone that he knew that Qi Tian's largest sect power was also spy on the secrets of Huang Yuchen again.

It would be a headache to deal with such people. They were almost everywhere and pervasive. What Huang Yuanwu could do was just hide Huang Yuchen, and there was no other better way.

Thinking of these troublesome things in his mind, Huang Yuanwu felt that he had a serious headache, so he simply shook his head, stood up, and walked to the door of the big tent wearing a thick leather cloak, looking into the sky in the distance.

The night in the Gobi Desert is pure and cold. In late autumn, the surrounding area is even more desolate.

Looking at the pure starry sky, Huang Yuanwu pulled the cloak that was draped over his shoulders, and felt a hint of chill.

He didn't know how everything would develop, and he seemed to be powerless. All he could do was to use his entire strength to protect his father's inheritance and protect his youngest brother, that's all.

Most of the soldiers had already rested. From time to time, they could see patrol teams of seven people walking around the camp. Huang Yuanwu sighed softly and turned back to the camp.

No matter what he thinks, he will definitely enter the imperial capital tomorrow, and what should be come will always come.
